Folk music emanates from the outdoor stage, local couples take to the streets to per-
form traditional
chacarera
and
chamamé
(folk dances and music), food stalls dish out
hearty country dishes such as
locro
(a meaty stew), deep-friend
empanadas
and
humitas
(a
kind of tamale) - this is Feria de Mataderos, an authentic celebration of Argentine country
traditions. You might also see gauchos demonstrating their horse-riding skills by playing
sortija,
a game where they stand in their saddles and ride at full speed to spear a tiny
dangling ring. Catch it on weekends during the summer.
